Looking to the outer planets and how they are interacting with our own energy provides a foundation to the greater chapters that we are moving through individually.
Connecting with these transits, with these planets, and with their invitations, can provide an immense sense of peace and clarity. As if they provide a roadmap, a compass, or a light to follow. A framework and language to hold and make sense of your path. And the direction that these transits invite you into will always be what is most aligned with your Soul, with your fulfilment, and with your truth.
Astrology can allow ourselves to know ourselves intimately, to master our lives, to find our purpose, satisfaction and meaning. And the best way we can do that is to understand and work with the influence of these outer planets.
Connecting with the Outer Planets
There are movements within our cosmos weekly, with the Moon moving every ~2 days, Mercury every ~14 days and the Sun and Venus every ~30, for example. If it can feel overwhelming keeping track of these quicker movements, focusing on the outer planets, which are much slower in their movements, can help us to understand the current chapter of our lives in a more foundational way.
The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto – which are labelled as outer planets as they orbit outside of the asteroid belt, as opposed to Mercury, Venus, and Mars which lie between the Sun and the asteroid belt (see image below from earthhow.com).
These outer planets represent bigger themes in our lives. If you’re feeling lost, or as if you are moving through great transition, it’s of deep importance to look at Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
12 Houses in Astrology and what they mean
Pair the house meanings with the planets intentions below for a greater understanding of your outer transits and chapters.
1st House
The 1st House represents our body, our ego, our vitality, and our physical appearance. It is the face we show the world.
2nd House
The 2nd House is associated with value (including how we value ourselves), ownership, possessions, and finances, and earning.
3rd House
The 3rd House reflects our immediate environment (and siblings), our thinking, communication, learning, and processing.
4th House
The 4th House is the most private point of the chart, representing our internal foundation, home, family, roots, ancestry, lineage, and early life.
5th House
The 5th house is the fun house, ruling over creativity, joy, romance, pleasure, and artistic expression.
6th House
The 6th House is where we see wellness, habits, routines, health, and day-to-day living, working and functioning.
7th House
Referred to as the house of marriage, the 7th House rules over our partnerships and relationships (both romantic and collaborative – like business partners).
8th House
The 8th House moves beyond partnership and into merging with another. It is intimacy, transformation, sex, rebirth, and death. It also governs our shared resources.
9th House
The 9th House is big picture thinking. It is the house of travel and wisdom, culture, higher learning and cosmologies.
10th House
The 10th House is opposite to the 4th and sits at the most public point of our chart. It is where we share our gifts with the world publicly, representing our career, status, reputation, and prestige.
11th House
The 11th House has been associated with good fortune since ancient times, ruling over our hopes, wishes, and long-term goals. It also represents wider communities, collective organisations, humanitarian efforts and networking.
12th House
The 12th House is illusive in nature. It is the house of the subconscious, spirituality, night-time dreams, and privacy.
